Sorry, but I just had to post this. Longest distance I've ever gone and felt like I could keep going too!
Something finally clicked and everything felt smooth and like I was gliding through the water. Less effort + longer distance= Happy me!
Go Team Chyck!

Congratulations. Maybe I'll look at all these crazy distances you guys are doing as inspiration.

What particularly clicked? The only thing that's clicking these days are my knees when I stand up. I think we should start a coffee drinking challenge.

Just kidding - really. I love getting in new milestones too.

Congrats!!

I feel the same way. I did 1,500 yards tonight w/o stopping. My previous best was ~500 w/o stopping and 1,000 total yards in a set. Friday, I plan on swimming at least a mile.

Thanks BT Swim Challenge!

That's awesome!! Good work. I can't wait for our outdoor pool to open so I can do 50's instead of 25's. It just seems like it'll make it more interesting.

Brenda -- that's really great!!  And it gives me hope, too, that I'll experience that elusive swimming "click" one of these days!!

runningslug(I love that name!)- instead of counting 1,2,3 breathe I started counting 1,2 1,2, keeping my arms flowing in smooth fashion. It seemed I used to have this pause between strokes whenever I took a breath, but now I don't think about the breathing part, focusing more on my arms continuously moving. Hard to explain, but that's what finally clicked.
Newton- way to go on hitting 1,500! Doesn't it feel great?
Possum-Thanks for the compliment on my son!
And everyone else thanks for sharing my little milestone with me!
